Marshalls

About

I don't surf this spot anymore because it never seems to be any good. Actually nowhere in malibu seems that good anymore. If you are planing a surf trip to SoCal try the O.C. I've never surfed there but I think its always better. The day I took these pictures was kind of rare. Everywhere was breaking pretty decent and there just weren't a lot of people around.

Atmosphere:
This Spot can break in the summer (left) or winter (right) but the rights are longer and can hold a bigger wave. The real Marshall's is about an eighth of a mile down the beach but not as good. The right which is visible from the parking lot gets the best. It only gets good about once or twice a year and when it does there will be a crowd. The lefts on the other side of the reef can be good and walled up in the summer but there are shallow rocks and it closes out over 6'.

Additional Info:
Park on PCH or self register pay parking in lot. Be very careful turning and using the middle lane in PCH! There are deadly accidents on this road all too often! Bicyclists, bikers, truck drivers, Sunday drivers, pedestrians, drunk drivers, and teen girls all pose a serious threat. Use extreme caution.
